How commercials helped you hold it in

For those of you who have never heard of Netflix or have never used its services I can honestly say that you are missing out on the great joy of commercial-free television. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I enjoy having to watch advertisements during my favorite shows, but before Netflix and Tivo/DVR you were forced to sit through advertisements and this taught us about patience and timing. Think about the last time you watched T.V. with commercials. Your body instinctively knew that once the commercials started, you had about 3 minutes to use the bathroom, get a snack, etc. Commercials taught us to resist our urges for just a few more minutes and as such we gained control of our bodies until eventually we could all resist our urges. Farewell for now. Whether or not you agree with me, comment and leave some feedback. Thanks again-  Alex the Adamant
